Chapter 429: Captured by the Mutant Tree

Mu Cheng ran back, looked at the mutant bird in extreme pain, and asked Xiao Jiu with a smile, "What did you do?"

Xiao Jiu said proudly, "I didn't do anything. I just destroyed it with light."

"Light..." Mu Cheng blinked, and it took him a while to understand that in fact, humans, plants, and animals are all the same. They all have breathing holes under their skin. Although the mutant bird's body is hard, it still has breathing holes. As long as there are breathing holes, light can shine in.

Mu Cheng didn't know what kind of light erupted from Xiaojiu, but seeing the mutant bird in so much pain, it must be a light that could take its life.

Mu Cheng suddenly frowned and looked around vigilantly, with a very bad feeling in his heart.

Danger!

Not only Mu Cheng, Xiao Jiu and Xiao Yi also felt it, and they looked around vigilantly.

Soon, a tree root as thick as a thigh emerged from the concrete ground. Before anyone could react, the root had already wrapped around Mu Cheng's legs and dragged her directly into the soil.

"Little Orange."

"elder sister."

Xiaojiu and Xiaoyi reacted and roared, trying to burrow into the ground. The mud on the hole fell down and directly sealed the entrance.

Xiaojiu looked around, then took Xiaoyi and chased madly in one direction.

Mu Cheng was dragged forward underground. Because there was only mud underneath, she could only close her eyes and let the tree roots drag her forward. She was either bumping into the tree roots or the rocks, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

She felt that this big tree was more terrifying than the mutant bird. Just one of its roots made her terrified. If she was dragged to its main body, she would definitely be powerless to resist.

So she could only cry out for help, "Master Ming, help me, cough! Pah... Pah..."

As soon as Mu Cheng opened her mouth, a mouthful of dirt got into her mouth, making her feel very uncomfortable.

[I said I won't let you die, so I definitely won't let you die. Why are you so anxious?]

Mu Cheng covered his mouth with his hand and said, "How can I not be anxious? I don't know what this mutant tree is up to. If it drags me in front of the original tree, nothing good will happen."

[Heh! What can I do with you? I'll use you as my mother body just like that thing before.]

"What?" Mu Cheng opened her eyes in shock. A particle of dirt fell from her eyes, and tears streamed down her face in pain. She quickly closed her eyes and wiped them with her hands. "Why, why do you all want to use me as a mother body?"

It was like this before, it is like this now, and in her previous life, there were always mutant beasts, mutant plants, and zombies who wanted to capture her to be their mother.

[The fragrance you exude can make male creatures feel a strong desire. If I hadn't met my wife first, I would definitely force you to reproduce for me. The offspring born by a woman like you will be very excellent.]

Mu Cheng felt a chill in her heart. She didn't know what smell she had, but the feeling of being remembered by someone disgusted her and made her feel sick.

"Master Ming, can you please save me first? Although this mutant tree won't kill me, I won't let it use me as its mother. If it touches me, I will immediately commit suicide. Then you will have no choice but to find a random place here to build your underground palace."

[Don't worry, I won't let it touch you. My wife can't be a creature that's neither human nor demon.]

"What do you mean?" Didn't Ming say that he only wanted his wife and wouldn't have any thoughts about her?

Why is he talking about his wife again now? Is she the mother of the mutant tree? What does she have to do with his wife?

Ming didn't answer her question, and couldn't even speak anymore.
